 "I think some of the most important things about being a woman are taking care of your kids and family before all else. With that being said you also have to take care of yourself. Being a woman means that you have to find a balance between family, time with your love, time with your kids, time with your friends, and time to be by yourself. Every day could be a struggle if you let it, you just have to find a balance. A single word that describes me is loving and I am proud of the fact that I am giving. The best advice I ever received from my parents and one thing I regret not listening to was to save 10% to 20% of whatever you make. Have it directly taken out of your check and put it in to a separate account and don’t touch it. If you don’t see it, you won’t miss it. Always spend quality time with your kids and your family. Do what you love and it will never feel like a job. Help out in your community and schools. You will get to see what is going on around you."
